PILES OF BURGERS TO THE MASTERPIECES OF PAINTING

Brazilian artist Gabriel Nardelli Araujo combines classic art with modern life by adding unusual elements to paintings. The artist’s spin-off series ‘the burger friday’ is part of ‘the canvas project’, a collection of collages with unexpected storylines. The series started with focusing on a very recurrent subject in art history, the beheading of st john the baptist,’ explains Araujo. The idea was to change the meaning and the perception of the scene by only modifying one of its elements.
